Description

Limoxal is a powerful, diffusive citrus aroma chemical with a bright character reminiscent of fresh lemon and orange zest. It has a distinctive fresh, sparkling quality accompanied by a subtle herbal nuance. According to IFF, Limoxal is particularly effective when combined with natural citrus oils, where it can enhance the overall strength and volume of a fragrance composition.

In perfumery, Limoxal is useful for creating vivid citrus openings and extending the impression of freshness beyond the initial top-note burst. Its versatility allows it to function across the top, heart and base stages of a composition, making it useful for fine fragrances as well as functional fragrance applications. It works especially well in lemon, orange, citrus-green and fresh aromatic accords.

Perfumers' Tip

Use Limoxal when you want a citrus accord to feel more diffusive, sparkling and full-bodied. Start at a modest dosage and blend it with natural citrus oils to reinforce their zest-like character. Its relatively persistent citrus effect also makes it useful when you want freshness to remain noticeable beyond the initial opening.
